Advantages

Key Benefits

Why Mattofuse is the preferred choice for inks and pigments formulations

01

Engineered matting — eliminates harsh surface irregularities for consistent matte films

02

Controlled gloss reduction — predictable matte from semi-matte to deep-matte

03

Enhanced dispersion efficiency — fast and uniform incorporation without agglomeration

Mattofuse benefits Performance engineered for Inks and Pigments
04

Rheology-neutral performance — maintains stable ink viscosity at higher addition levels

05

Optimized cost-performance balance — efficient matting at lower effective dosage

06

Maintains ink clarity, color depth, and mechanical film integrity

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Mattofuse in inks and pigments applications

MATTOFUSE's contoured particle geometry creates micro-scale topographical variations at the ink surface that scatter light into multiple directions, converting specular reflection into diffused reflection.

MATTOFUSE provides equivalent or superior matting efficiency at lower dosages, with reduced mechanical wear on press components and no negative impact on ink rheology.

Yes, MATTOFUSE is specifically designed as a CaCO₃-based alternative to precipitated silica matting agents in both water-based and solvent-based ink systems.

No, because matte effect is achieved through optical diffusion rather than light absorption, the ink film retains full clarity, color depth, and mechanical integrity.

Typical usage levels are 3–6%, depending on the desired gloss level and the specific water-based or solvent-based ink system being formulated.
